Viola and Phillip in Napa, CA

Viola and Phillip held the private tea ceremony in the bridal suite. "The couple serve tea to their parents and relatives as a sign of respect and thanks," explains the bride. "In turn, the parents present gifts to the couple—usually money or jewelry—along with their good wishes." Viola wore a robin's-egg blue doupioni silk floral hairpin with spotted guinea feathers from K.Autumn, in Berkeley.
